Product details
Overview
R7FA2L1AB3CFN#AA0 from Renesas is an ultra-low-power 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M23 microcontroller operating at up to 48 MHz, featuring 256 KB code flash, 32 KB SRAM, 12-bit ADC/DAC, Capacitive Touch Sensing Unit (CTSU2), and integrated CAN 2.0B interface - deployed in battery-powered industrial HMI, smart sensors, and energy-efficient control systems.
For engineers reviewing the R7FA2L1AB3CFN#AA0 datasheet, R7FA2L1AB3CFN#AA0 pinout, R7FA2L1AB3CFN#AA0 application, or R7FA2L1AB3CFN#AA0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its -40°C to +105°C industrial temperature rating, 80-pin LQFP package with 66 GPIOs (5-V tolerant on 5 pins), CTSU2-based touch interface support, and hardware AES-128/256 + TRNG for secure firmware updates.
Technical Context
The R7FA2L1AB3CFN#AA0 implements Armv8-M architecture with Memory Protection Unit (8 regions) and CoreSight™ debug infrastructure (SW-DP, MTB-M23). Its system-level timing relies on multiple clock sources including HOCO (48 MHz), SOSC (32.768 kHz), and IWDT-dedicated 15 kHz oscillator - enabling precise low-power operation across sleep modes.
Analog subsystem integration includes ADC12 (19-channel, 12-bit SAR), DAC12 (1-channel), ACMPLP (2 low-power comparators), and TSN (on-die temperature sensor). The Event Link Controller (ELC) enables autonomous peripheral-to-peripheral triggering without CPU intervention, critical for deterministic real-time response in motor control and sensor fusion.

It includes an 8-region Memory Protection Unit (MPU), DWT, FPB, and CoreSight™ MTB-M23 for debug and trace. This architecture enables efficient execution of real-time tasks while supporting TrustZone®-based software isolation for secure firmware partitioning in the R7FA2L1AB3CFN#AA0.
Does the R7FA2L1AB3CFN#AA0 support capacitive touch sensing, and how many electrodes can it handle?
Yes, the R7FA2L1AB3CFN#AA0 integrates the Capacitive Sensing Unit (CTSU2), which supports up to 32 electrodes in self-capacitance mode and up to 30 in mutual-capacitance mode. The CTSU2 includes built-in noise cancellation and automatic calibration, enabling robust touch button, slider, and wheel implementations without external components - a key capability confirmed in the R7FA2L1AB3CFN#AA0 datasheet (R01DS0385EJ0160).
What are the supported operating voltage and temperature ranges for the R7FA2L1AB3CFN#AA0?
The R7FA2L1AB3CFN#AA0 operates from 1.6 V to 5.5 V and is qualified for industrial temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. This wide voltage range allows direct interfacing with Li-ion batteries, 3.3 V logic, and legacy 5 V systems. Its extended temperature rating makes the R7FA2L1AB3CFN#AA0 suitable for deployment in sealed enclosures, under-hood automotive modules, and factory-floor equipment without active cooling.
How many analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converter channels does the R7FA2L1AB3CFN#AA0 provide?
The R7FA2L1AB3CFN#AA0 includes a 12-bit successive approximation ADC12 with up to 19 input channels and a 12-bit DAC12 with one output channel (DA0).
